I'm using the Smallworld Edition of FME 2018.1 and trying to read in data from Smallworld v5.2.1 but it isn't working. It reads 5.1.9 fine.

How can it get it to work?

I have never heard that remark from users, using the Spatialbiz plugin for Smallworld.

Give it a try.

You can find information here: Spatialbiz plugin

The log file for this workspace reports "Opening the Smallworld Reader on dataset `.'

 

Smallworld Translator version: 5.1.9.0-159"

 

 

I would recommend upgrading to FME 2019.x + and make sure that you have deployed the new sworldswaf.dll and sworldswaf.fwf files for every release. These will be the ones that GE delivered with the CST 5.2.1 FME Translator component.

 

 

This should now let you read in Smallworld 5.2

 

 

 

For more detailed information, please see the 'Configuring FME 2014 or newer: ' under the 1. GE Smallworld Reader/Writer - FME Translator section of this article.
